Break through the forecast accuracy ceiling that's costing you inventory every season
While commercial teams forecast high to hit targets, Ceres layers hyper-local weather, commodity prices, and 35,000+ market signals to deliver defensible supply chain intelligence.
Your ERP shows what happened. Your planners know last year's patterns. Neither tells you the season has shifted.
But it's blind to the external signals driving your real demand.
Weather & Climate
Seasonal pattern shifts, precipitation anomalies, and temperature changes that move demand before your internal data does.
Input Cost Volatility
Raw material, packaging, and ingredient cost movements tracked before they reach your sourcing team.
Geopolitics
Mapping disruptions across trade lanes and regional conflicts before they surface in your supplier communication.
Energy & Freight
Oil and logistics cost correlations that flow through into your COGS before your ERP reflects them.
Bridging the Commercial-Supply Gap
Three things your planning team can do with Ceres that they can't do in Excel.
Forecast Reconciliation
Automatically align optimistic sales targets with external market realities and supply constraints. See where commercial and supply chain diverge — before inventory locks in.
Seasonal Signal Monitoring
Early detection of season-shifting anomalies in weather and consumption patterns weeks ahead of time. Know when this season looks different before you're producing for it.
Explainable Outputs
Every forecast comes with a 'why' - linked directly to specific external indicators.
